To stay safe today, a security system is mandatory as crime is constantly on the rise. Although the main purpose of an alarm system is to protect a families property by activating a siren when a sensor is triggered, it can also notify an individual when a sensor is triggered too. An alarm system, when connected to a home automation system has many more functions and features then just then just the basics. When integrated with a home automation system – we have many more options open to us.
When a security system is integrated properly into a home automation system additional features available; some include
- Remotely arm and disarm the alarm system – also check the status of each senor or switch.
- Unlock doors and open/close garage doors away from home.
- Receive notification on your phone if a sensor is activated.
- Trigger lights to come on and off when the alarm system is activated.
These are just some features available at out disposal when we integrate a security system in with an automation system.
